[Samba] Problems using Samba as a PDC

[Bobby Mitchell]

I'm trying to use Samba 2.2.3a on RedHat 7.2 for a PDC and can't get 
Win2k to even acknowledge that the domain exists. I am attaching my 
smb.conf. the error message is: "The specified domain either does not 
exist or could not be contacted"

Output of smbclient:

[root at theta samba]# smbclient -L \\theta -U bmitchel
added interface ip=192.168.1.235 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Got a positive name query response from 127.0.0.1 ( 192.168.1.235 )
